these people are governing by fiat -- and not arbitrarily. if there is any lesson from the past, it's that when we are through this (whether that's in 1 year or 10 years), we have to pursue justice for everyone harmed and that means accountability for literally everyone perpetuating this disaster.

i assume some owners or managers knew who he was? so curious how he kept mostly under the radar as a guest in the era of camera phones and real-time social media.

How long do government shutdowns last? How often do they happen? Congress has walked up to the edge of a shutdown numerous times in recent years, but prolonged closures are rare.

genuinely hope it's not, but it feels like this could be a long, long shutdown.

Nighttime photo of the Frederick Douglass arch bridge in Washington DC; lit up against a twilight sky with hues of orange and dark blue. In the foreground, the silhouetted branches of weeping willow type trees frame the scene. in the foreground, a small group of people are silhouetted in conversation, illuminated street lamps. In the background, beyond the bridge, city buildings show illuminated windows and distinctive blue lighting on three industrial smoke stacks..

as much dc history as you know, there’s always more! i love the topic and love to keep learning.

in 2009, a no name representative interrupted a president's address to congress and called him a liar out in open air.

in 2025, dozens of the world's most powerful generals sit quietly as a guy with zero military experience tells them to shut up and get ready to kill americans. complete silence.

incredible. nat'l archives through october 1.

no offense to the current stics coaches but sandy brondello is available 🤷🏽‍♂️

unfortunately it closed in late 2019.

so fitting that we already tore the first amendment down from the old newseum facade.

saved us an ezra klein op ed on how taking it down today would've been a good compromise with the administration.

probably good idea to have alyssa thomas on your team

got to meet tyler clippard and drew storen at bourbon fest. their whiskey is good. made with corn literally from the field of dreams in iowa. 😯🥃🥃

$2 billion though? idk. glad we kept capital one, but i could have let this one go to woodbridge and wouldn't lose sleep.

if you rent a one bedroom in dc for $2,500 per month, your yearly rent will be 30,000 times what the commanders will pay to rent an nfl stadium from the city ($1).

i know the team is putting up money for construction, but then again, so are we as taxpayers. $2 billion in cash and tax givebacks.
